The Metropolitan Museum of Art has announced an exhibit dedicated to iconic instruments of rock & roll opening April 2019. It's called "Play It Loud", and it will include instruments dating from 1939 to the present used by artists including Elvis Presley, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Jimmy Page, Steve Miller, and many more.

Recently, Neko Case took to Twitter to call out the Met on their lack of instruments from female-identifying musicians included in the exhibit. The museum has announced two female performers who will be featured -- St. Vincent and Joni Mitchell. But let's brainstorm a list of even more.
